well i know you at least have ata support CONFIG_ATA
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers
Selects: SCSI
then the next option needed for for ahci sata support CONFIG_SATA_AHCI
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers
-> ATA device support (ATA [=y])
and finally CONFIG_ATA_PIIX for the intel ich support (2 options below the AHCI SATA)
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers
-> ATA device support (ATA [=y])
that should take care of it
Hi,
I think the problem is with my kernel. my lspci says:
IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller (rev 03)
I have kernel v2.6.19-gentoo-r5
What do I need to select in my kernel configuration to make this work?
Thanks
Rick
